Subject: Part 1 Application by Execulink Telecom Inc. – Request for the Commission to reinstate the enforcement measures imposed in TD 2024-42 — Request for disclosure of information designated as confidential
Dear recipients,
On 18 October 2024, following the termination of a access agreement by Escalade Property Corp. (Escalade), Execulink Telecom Inc. (Execulink) requested that the Commission reinstate the enforcement measures set out in Telecom Decision 2024-42. The application, answer and reply on the record of this proceeding contain information filed confidentially by Execulink and Escalade.
Per section 39(4) of the Telecommunications Act (Act), if information designated as confidential is submitted in the course of proceedings, the Commission may disclose the information or require its disclosure if it determines, that the disclosure is in the public interest. In making such a determination, a number of factors are considered, including the importance of the information for the purpose of obtaining a more fulsome public record. Further information regarding the general procedures and the factors considered may be found in Procedures for filing confidential information and requesting its disclosure in Commission proceedings, Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin CRTC 2010-961, 23 December 2010, as amended by Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin CRTC 2010-961-1, 26 October 2012.
Commission staff is of the view that disclosure on the public record of certain paragraphs filed in confidence by the parties would allow the Commission to more effectively explain its decision on the Part 1 application and enable the public to better understand the Commission’s rationale and position. In addition, disclosure of the paragraphs identified below for disclosure, along with the Commission’s analysis of them, would provide guidance to parties in similar multi-dwelling units access disputes.
Commission staff is also of the view that disclosing these provisions would not result in material financial loss or prejudice the competitive position of Execulink or Escalade. Staff is further of the view that the public interest outweighs the specific and direct harm likely to result from public disclosure of the relevant information.
In light of the above, Commission staff requests Execulink to file revised abridged documents by no later than 21 August 2025 disclosing the following paragraphs in their application: 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, Attachment 3 and Attachment 4. As well as, the following paragraphs in their reply: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 3.0, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 and Footnote 42.
Commission staff also requests that Escalade file a revised abridged document by no later than 21 August 2025 disclosing the following paragraphs in their answer dated 25 October 2024: 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 26, 30, 31, 32, 36 and 38.
Should Execulink or Escalade instead elect to maintain their confidentiality designations, they must indicate why the information initially designated as confidential corresponds with the one of the reasons outlined under section 39(1) of the Act, and why this outweighs its disclosure in the public interest, specifically in permitting the Commission to explain these facts that may lead to its conclusion. These representations must filed with the Commission by 21 August 2025.
Where a document is to be filed or served by a specific date, the document must be actually received, not merely sent, by that date.
Sincerely,
